Fixing an epub

HowardBrazee · 11-23-2017, 09:33 AM

I bought an .azw3 book book and loaded it to Calibre. I converted it to .epub and loaded it to a bunch of e-readers on my phone and pad. But it failed to be processed with Google books. When I tested it with https://www.ebookit.com/tools/bp/Bo/...epub-validator, I found lots of errors. Lots. I don't have the expertise to fix them in Sigil. How do I give feedback to whomever should know what the problem is?

There is nothing to be done here. Just use a different reading program. epubcheck errors are irrelevant to whether a book works in any given reading program or not. Google books is notorious for being a particularly fragile epub reading program and since there is no way to get diagnostics as to what it does not like about a particular book, there is no way for calibre to add worksournds for things it does not like.
